Donnie ran a finger gently over the scar across Kara's nose seeming to be deep in thought.
"Whatcha thinking about, Don?" Kara asked softly watching him just rub away at her scar wondering if he thought he could make it go away and erase it with his thumb.
"It's going to take some time getting use to this scar on your face." Donnie traced his finger down to Kara's cheek then placed his hand against it.
"It's just a small scar. It could of been much worse." Kara moved her hand over his and smiled at him. "Besides, I dig the scar, makes me look even cooler than Raph." She grinned and glanced over at him.
"Ha! As if. You'd have to get more than one measly, tiny scar to outrank me in coolness." Raph crossed his arms giving her a smug smirk making her chuckle.
Donnie smiled at them and leaned forward giving her scar a gentle peck before standing up just as Crognar was interrupted for a news broadcast about New York.
"Ever since the invasion that is known as the Invasion of New York humans have been wanting to know, "What is going on?", everything is fine. No human is allowed in or out of the city until Kraa-um the military allows it. This is Carlos Kraang O'Brien Gambe."
"Hmm..did the news guy seem a little...kraangy to you?" Mikey pondered staring suspiciously at the TV.
Kara rolled her eyes mentally counting to three for when Raph would smack Mikey. It was just before three when Raph used the rolled up comic to smack Mikey across the head. "Hm..my timing is off."
"A little? What're you? On a pepperoni?"
"The Kraang may have the rest of the world fooled but not us. What's the plan, Leo?" April glared at the TV before looking to her side where Leo stood.
"Step One is: Storm the castle walls. Donnie?"
"It's not as heavily armored as the Shellraiser but it's more maneuverable, has more weapons, and gets better gas mileage." Donnie placed down blueprints to upgrade the party wagon to meet their needs in order to take back New York.
Kara stared down at the blueprints an excited grin on her face "Ooo, looks awesome. Can't wait to try it out."
"Let's stop jabbering and build this sucka!" Casey shoved Kara to the side staring down at the blueprints with fire in his eyes.
Kara chuckled and shoved Casey out of the way. "Then hurry up, slow poke."
Everyone got to work on the party wagon, Kara staying close to Donnie so he could instruct her on what to do since it was her first time making anything. Donnie was patient with her and gave her step by step instructions for her to follow.
Kara sat up wiping the sweat from her forehead and looked over seeing everyone was adding the finishing touches and soon, the Party Wagon was completed.
"I give you the new and improved Party Wagon!" Donnie stepped aside to give everyone view of their hard work.
Kara jumped up in excitement whooping and hollering. "This is incredible!"
"It's so awesome!" Raph grinned clenching his fist.
"Alright team let's do this!" Leo shouted as they all gave a team high five/three.
Everyone separated to grab things they'd need before they left for good.
Kara was upstairs in the room she shared with April packing away the things she had bought and Donnie's music box that he made for her making sure to keep it safe and secure. Kara let out a sigh and looked down at the box her hand crafted gloves were in and opened them.
Inside lay the gloves, palms down, the instructions, and a cleaning kit for the blades. She slipped them on with ease and ran her fingers gently over the knuckles able to feel the top of the blade before she activated them. She stared at them for the longest time remembering her training with Jason and couldn't help but smile.
He was the weirdest guy she had ever met but he was a good one. He gave her his number in case she something ever happened to her gloves that she'd need assistance with but she had a feeling she had grown on him too.
Hearing footsteps coming her way she let go of the button, the blades snapping back into place inside the gloves, and turned to see April walking in.
"Hey, we just about have everything we need. You ready?"
Kara gave her a nod with a determined look on her face. "Been ready for a long time. Was wondering when everyone else was. You guys are getting slow." Kara crossed her arms, grinning jokingly at April.
"As if, I was born ready for this, Kara. You seem to be steps behind at how ready I am." April playfully shoved her shoulder with her own making Kara laugh.
"Getting competitive eh, Aps?...You've come a long way from when we first met." Kara looked down the night she met April and the guys cherished in her memories. "I'm really proud of you." She lifted her gaze to April and gave her a warm smile.
April smiled in return giving Kara a hug. "Thank you. You and everyone else has helped me so much. We're going to get them back. Master Splinter, My dad, Dragan, everyone."
Kara gently squeezed April before stepping back and giving her a nod. "Yeah, the Kraang nor Shredder are going to stop us." Kara turned back and set the box in her bag before turning to April. "Let's go."
Donnie was saying his goodbyes to Doctor Cluckingston when they both walked out.
Kara walked over and gave the Doc's back a gentle rub. "Why doesn't he come with us? I'm sure you can fix him once everything is over with."
"We don't have the money to take care of a chicken plus who knows how long it'll be til New York is safe..from the Kraang that is. Besides, he prefers it here with his fellow chickens."
Kara gave a nod of understanding and looked up at the barnhouse one more time. Truthfully, she couldn't wait to leave the place behind.
Remembering everything from their first night there to all the mutants, creatures, and people that made this place a nightmare but at the same time she was going to miss it from hanging out with her friends, getting back on her feet, being with Donnie, and bonding more with Casey as well as meeting Jason and Doug. It was as if she was leaving a part of herself.
She shook her head and took a few steps towards the van before giving the barnhouse one more look. "The old me is staying behind..keep her safe." She whispered up to the house able to see the images of herself and the others being together and having fun. A small smile crossed her lips before she turned back around and climbed into the front seat of the van never giving the house a second glance.
The sun was setting as they departed the barnhouse and made their way back home; back to New York.
It was several days til they reached the Brooklyn Bridge leading straight to the city.
"Alright team, first we track down Master Splinter, then we search for Dragan and hunt for Karai then free the city." Leo explained to them all.
Kara stared ahead at the city she called home. It was so close yet so far and it definitely wouldn't be easy getting into it.
"So, what's the plan fearless leader? Ninja-y or all out attack?" Raph asked leaning more towards the all out attack.
"Ninja-y. We park at the gate, sneak in, split up, and search for Master Splinter."
"And my father." April added in to Leo's answer.
"And Dragan." Kara whispered tying a blindfold she made around her eyes before lowering it to her neck for later. Naked lights blared in her vision causing her to squint her eyes and shield her face from the light.
Casey stopped the van as another light from overhead shined down on them, two more coming on from different directions.
"Okaay. Not good." Donnie muttered aloud at their current situation.
"Oh, man, they got us dudes! The jig is up homeslice!" Mikey panicked grabbing at Raph and shaking him.
Raph, getting annoyed, clamped his hand over Mikey's mouth and held him down now having both hands over his mouth, keeping him down.
Kara pulled up the blindfold and tapped her foot softly seeing the figures of the military guards come into view and from what she could see their weapons weren't there just for show. Lowering the blindfold she glanced back at the others. "Stay calm and keep low.."
"Citizen! This is EPF Quarantine Sector 7B. Roll down your windows." One of the military men walked up to the driver's window.
Casey rolled down his window and placed his hand over the side of the door giving the man a large smile.
"Authorized personnel only. No one goes in or out of New York City."
"Whatever you say, army dude." Casey responded to the military man watching as he walked away.
Kara narrowed her eyes seeing something blinking on the back of the man's neck and her eyes widened.
"You see that? It's a Kraang mind control device. I bet they all have them!"
"Would make sense. The army doesn't have the technology or experience to defeat the Kraang..they get caught and turned into slaves for the Kraang.."
"They're all controlled. Like...Invasion of the Brain Suckers?" Mikey whispered in a fright before his head was pushed down and out of sight making him whimper.
Kara could see ahead that they were charging up their weapons, Kraang tech no doubt, and she glanced Casey's way seeing something in his eyes that told her they were about to improvise. Kara grinned while clenching her fist. "Looks like we're storming the castle after all!" She shouted just a Casey Jones slammed his foot onto the gas pedal, the party wagon speeding off head first toward the barricade.
The military men began firing at them but Casey Jones lowered the shield over the front windows and forced his way past the barricade and into New York City.
The city was in ruins. Crystal trees were everywhere even making root in some of the buildings, not a single sign of life. Kara dropped her head, clenching her fist. "The Kraang will pay for what they've done to my home.."
"What were you thinking, man?! Do you have any brains behind that hockey mask?!" Raph yelled at Casey giving his head a shove.
"I had no choice, Raph, they were powering up their blasters."
"It got us into the city at least." Kara glanced back at Raph as he sat back down.
"Um..guys? Where are all the people?"
"You think the Kraang mutated everyone?" Mikey squeaked out.
"No way. Not possible." Leo replied.
"It's completely possible. I only sense a few hundred people in the entire city. They're..gone! Millions of people..gone!"
"A few hundred? Dragan has to be among them." Kara whispered to herself noticing Casey was turning into an alley.
"One good thing we haven't run into any Kraaaaannnnng.." Just as soon as those words left Mikey's mouth a group of Kraang stepped in front of the party wagon, charging up their weapons. "Aw, no! Why do I have to open my big mouth?!"
The Kraang began firing at them. "It is the humans known as Casey Jones, April O'Neil, and Kara. Kraang! Eliminate for Kraang!"
Casey backed the van out of the alley and turned to drive off but more Kraang blocked their path.
"Man the defenses!" Leo ordered.
"Readying Soda Cannons!" Mikey shouted.
"Loading breath mints." Donnie followed as he placed them in a slot and pushed them in, the mint dissolving into the soda, starting to bubble up.
The side door opens, Donnie and Mikey stepping onto the door and aimed the Soda Cannons at the Kraang.
"Fire!" Mikey shouted shooting the soda bottles directly in the middle of the group causing two to fall over and one to malfunction and shoot at the others while screaming, "It stings! It stings!"
"Bomb-a-pult locked and loaded. Launch!" Raph shouted pulling a lever that threw an old fashioned looking bomb in the center of the second group and when it went off a large gas cloud erupted from the bomb making the Kraang stagger and fall over at how disgusting the smell was.
Casey Jones took this opportunity to drive off, running over any Kraang that got in their way.
"Take a left. There's a secret entrance to the subway right here." Donnie instructed Casey holding out a button to open the entrance.
"Wait, stop!" Kara raised her voice causing Casey to slam on the breaks. She climbed out of the van and looked up at all of them. "There's something I need to do first."
"You're not going to go look for Dragan by yourself, are you? It's too dangerous to look through the city on your own." Leo protested.
"It's not that..it's something else..I'll be fine. I'll be able to see the Kraang coming a mile away and avoid detection. This..this can't wait. I'll meet you back under ground."
"We'll meet up at the Lair, ok? It should be safe enough til we get a clear location of Master Splinter. Stay safe, Kara." Leo nodded her way before sitting back down.
Raph and Mikey did the same but Donnie stared her way worriedly.
Kara gave him a playfully wink and blew him a kiss and giggled at his reaction. Being together for over a year and he still acts awkward around affection. She smiled softly and gave him a wave.
"Good luck." April smiled at her and Casey gave her a wink before she closed the door and watched them drive under ground.
Kara turned towards the city and lifted the blindfold over her eyes. She took a couple steps forward her perception of sight being sharpened with the lack of noise around her she was able to 'see' better and soon changed to a full on run knowing the destination she was headed to: Home.
Able to avoid the any Kraang on patrol around the area Kara eventually found herself standing in front of the hotel. Lifting her head upwards to where her home was she went to take a step inside but thought against the idea, figuring there would be some kind of trap or Kraang thing inside she decided it was best to take a different route and began to climb the fire escape.
Making it to the roof she stopped to take a short breather having walked up the long escape without stopping and let out a deep sigh before walking over to the other side where her balcony was and jumped down with ease. She walked up to the door and placed her hand over the handle while hoping this wasn't the time that she remembered to lock the door and when it slid open she did a victory dance in her mind before running inside.
She brought out her phone and used the flashlight to get a good look around and her face dropped in shock at the state of her home. The furniture was all over the place, the cabinets in the kitchen and fridge were left wide open and everything that wasn't edible was left on the floor. She ran into each of the rooms and they were in the same state as the living room. Her and Dragan's clothes were missing as well as the blankets and medical supplies.
"It was as if someone knew what was here...Dragan."
"Ye called?" A soft, Scottish voice called out from behind her.
Kara slowly turned around and raised her flashlight to see Dragan in person. "Dragan?"
"The one an only. Now put away the flashlight before ye blind me." Dragan had to cover her eyes from the bright light, her eyes not used to the brightness.
Kara immediately lowered it staring at Dragan. She looked just as she had in her dreams but much worse. She took a step forward and reached her hand out to her before poking her right in the ribs making Dragan jump.
Woah, hey, not the reaction I was expectin' oof!" Dragan was cut off by Kara wrapping her arms around her in a full hug.
"It's good to see you again." She whispered in her shoulder feeling of joy and relief wash over her able to feel and touch the real Dragan and not just a dream image.
"You too, lass." Dragan smiled and gave her a gentle squeeze but blinked when Kara pushed herself back and grabbed her arms.
"Now that you're here we can meet up with the guys and go save Master Splinter! It'll be you, Leo, Donnie, the others and I just like old times! Come on!" Kara went to drag her towards the balcony by blinked when Dragan wouldn't budge. "Dragan?" She questioned, looking back at her.
"I can't. Not yet anywys...the others..thay need me. I can't just abandon them like that. Thay..thay rely on me tae get them through this. I'm sorry, Kara..but I can't follow ye this time. I hope ye understand.
Kara wanted to refuse to let her go after this long. Wanted to beg her to come with her after being separated for this long but the way she stood and the expression on her face told her no matter what she did or said she'd stick to her word. Her shoulders fell in disappointment but she gave her an encouraging smile then a playful punch on her arm. "Knock em dead, tiger."
"Raise some havoc." Dragan returned the punch before giving her a hug. "We'll see each other again soon." She whispered before running out of the house.
Kara turned around and followed her lead in leaving, not wanting to remember her home in this state, knowing most of it was her fault, and left to meet up with the others.
Kara hopped down the last step and went to run off but stopped when something familiar caught her eye. "...No way...it can't be!" She raised her voice a large smile on her face as she moved some trash out of the way and lifted her scooter up off the ground. "My baby! And not a scratch on you." She hugged the handles before opening the secret compartment under the seat and pushed one of the sides opening another secret mini compartment and pulled out an extra key.
Placing it in the ignition and turning it on she smiled wide as the engine purred alive working perfectly and drove straight for the sewers. She went to drive down the stairs to the train station but halted when she heard some kraang coming her way from the station so she immediately backed up her scooter, turning it off, and parked it behind the entrance and ran into an alley, hiding behind a pile of garbage and trash cans.
Closing her eyes she saw a small group of four step out with a few mousers at their feet. "Too many to take out alone without causing an alarm..." She took a slow breath and waited for them to pass.
Having no trouble at all she let out the breath she didn't know she was holding before standing to her feet, hunched over, and quickly made her way down the stairs and into the station, running straight for the lair.
"Guys? Psst. Guys!" Kara whispered when she finally arrived near the lair.
Hearing her voice April lead her into the small room her, Casey, and Mikey were waiting in.
"Where's the others?" Kara asked out of breath.
"They're making sure the lair is safe. They should be back soon." April replied placing her hand over Mikey's shoulder to comfort him.
"See? Wasn't gone too long." Kara grinned before sitting down next to Mikey.
"Did you find Dragan?" Mikey asked curiously yet some hope in his voice.
Kara glanced his way only to shake her head, looking away before he could see her expression. "No.."
Mikey placed his hand on her shoulder before bringing her in for a hug.
She smiled at him, hugging him in return, and looked up seeing the others return.
"No sign of Splinter." Leo breathes out, panting from the running.
"The Kraang have some freaky security system to make sure we don't come back." Raph added in.
"Why don't we just take it down and move back in? I miss our home. I miss my comic books, my VHS tapes, my action kick unicorn man, my collection of human underwear!" Mikey grieved for his action kick unicorn man and underwear.
"So that's why you have underwear." Kara said aloud on the side.
"It's not that simple, Mikey. We can't just move back." Donnie went to explain but was interrupted by April having another vision.
"Guys, I...I think...I think I sense Splinter close by! It's faint and he seems...d-different! Come on, hurry!" April shouted running in the direction she could sense Splinter at.
Kara and the others followed close by and soon she was able to make out his image fighting off some Mousers.
He was able to fight off the Mousers and when his eyes fell on them he curled up, hissing at them like an animal and charged at them.
Kara and the others moved out of the way only to find out he wasn't after him but going straight for Casey.
Splinter knocked Casey off his feet and was trying to bite at his face while Casey screamed at them to get him off.
It took all four of the guys to restrain him but Splinter continued to resist, flailing his head around and hissing.
Kara's heart fell seeing her beloved teacher and father figure looking so degrading. She clenched her fist knowing who is to blame for all this.
"Try to remember." Donnie pleaded looking up at his father but stepped back when he snapped his mouth at him, his eyes wide and unfocused.
"Too strong!" Mikey yelled as he did his best to keep his grip on Splinter.
"Sensei, it's us! It's us! Calm down." Leo spoke calmly to Master Splinter trying to release him from the state he was in.
Kara took a step in front of Donnie and placed her hands on the side of his head, forcing him to look at her while taking a deep breath.
"Feel this wave crashing down. Push me deep into the ground." She sang softly, pain in her eyes watching Splinter struggle, his breathing becoming heavy and uneven but his ears perked when she began to sing so she continued.
"Float away with the tide I'll drown. Sinking, following the sound." She gently stroked his cheek his attention now on her and he followed her movement as she lowered herself on her knees.
His head hung low, out of breath, and he stared up at her as she slowly stood to her feet and stepped back slowly letting go of his face to give the guys some room.
She walked over to Casey and hugged him tightly.
Casey looked down at her while gently rubbing her back.
She squeezed her eyes shut to keep herself from crying til she saw movement close by and gasped when a Mouser started shrieking, sounding an alarm.
"Oh no, Foot!" Donnie yelled as Footbots suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Kara, Leo, Casey, stood in front of Splinter protectively.
"Get ready team. Don't let them harm Splinter!" Leo ordered as all three of them charged at the Footbots."
Kara threw punches at the Footbot in front of her, it beginning to read her moves and brought up its arms to fight with her style. Kara grinned, expecting this and when she went for a punch she activated the blade in her gloves, moving the hook over the buttons with her thumbs, and sliced the bots face before punching it in it's gut, using the blade to cut a large gash across it and brought it upwards, stabbing the end into it's head and pulled it off from the body.
Hearing the mechanical whirring die off and it's body drop to the ground in a seizure she smirked in satisfaction and pulled the head off, dropping it down next to it's body and ran off after the others hearing Splinter had gotten away.
Kara's eyes widened seeing Splinter get electrocuted and something in her snapped.
She charged forward, running as fast as she could and ran up to a footbot, slicing it's chest in quick movements that even surprised her before kicking it's feet from under it and punching it right in the face to end it then moved to the next one.
"After him!" Donnie shouted once all the footbots were taken care of and they all followed after the footbots who had Master Splinter.
Kara found herself at a familiar sight when she saw the bars that stood between her and Master Splinter once more. She watched as her teacher was taken from her once again as Mikey called out to him.
Kara punched at the bars in anger lowering her head in regret. She wasn't able to save him AGAIN. She leaned into the bars and let out a sigh, her anger depleting when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up at saw Donnie giving her a worried look. She gave him a smile to let him she was alright and stood up straight. "Come on, we're not going to do much just standing around here." She lifted up her arms and released the hook, the blades returning to their resting state in the gloves.
"Woaah. That's so sick, Kara." Casey said with a grin looking at her weapon.
"These?" Kara looked down at them and smiled. "Yeah, we'll talk more about them later but for now we got Master Splinter to save."
"Right. Let's move, team." Leo said to them and they were off.
April's visions lead them deeper in the sewers where they eventually found two footbots guarding a hatch.
"Yeah, like THAT isn't conspicuous or anything.." Kara placed her hand to her forehead wondering whose idea it was to do this before watching Leo and Raph tag team in taking the bots down with ease.
It was Donnie's turn next and he bent down to it's level and placed one of his hand made devices onto it. "I'll hack this baby in no time." No sooner than he said that the hatch automatically opened. "Like a turtle do." Donnie grinned.
"No sweat to it." Kara chuckled staring down into the hole.
"Pat yourself on the back later. Let's move." Raph went to stand until a familiar silhouette caught their eyes making it's way towards them.
Seeing it get even darker than usual around her Kara lifted her head and saw. "Shredder.." She whispered, clenching her fists and jerked around to face him but blinked when she saw a short mutant with an over large head and helmet to match.
Everyone stared at it for a short time before bursting into laughter.
"Hahahahaha! What the heck is that suppose to be? Mini Shredder?" Raph asked, grinning from ear to ear.
"Ha-haha! It's kinda cute. Like a shrimp." Mikey commented, smiling.
Mini Shredder didn't appreciate being made fun of and flew at them like a cannon ball.
It surprised everyone but they managed to get out of the way in time only for it to bounce off the walls and latch onto Casey, attacking him with mini punches. This, of course, only made Kara laugh more.
Casey shoved the thing off him and they all made their way down the hatch, Kara laughing all the way as she jumped down just before Raph closed it.
Kara closed her mouth, calming her laughter feeling the atmosphere had changed and watched as Leo went ahead to check out the scene.
He gave the signal and Kara followed the others making her way down carefully and, with the best of her ability, stealthily.
Kara hid behind a pillar and watched Stockman taunt and tease Master Splinter which irritated her. She wanted to swat at him like the fly and squish him under her foot but that was for another time.
When he left they all climbed down from their hiding spots to where they were keeping Master Splinter.
"Sensei." Leo gently knocked on the glass to get his attention. "Sensei!" He whispered a little more firmly Master Splinter now making his way to them.
"Quick, get him out of there." Raph called to Donnie.
Donnie typed something into his T-phone and soon the glass lifted up setting him free.
"It's ok. It's ok." April called out to Master Splinter, holding out her hand to him but he stepped back away from her. "There's got to be a way to reach him!"
Master Splinter walked over to Kara sniffing her curiously. She smiled sadly at him and petted his head gently. "You liked my song? You always did enjoy hearing me sing as a kid." She laughed softly at the memory looking over at the others missing what they were saying but before she could ask them what they were talking about Stockman appeared.
"What izzzzzz thizz? Turtlezz here? You were all deztroyed! Zzzzz"
"How is THIS for destroyed?" Raph threw a shuriken but Stockman flew out of the way and began spitting his acid at them causing them to scatter.
"April try to wake Splinter up! Kara, stay by her side in case Splinter tries to flee again!" He ordered dodging the spitballs.
"No way! I want to help you guys fight!" Kara shouted after him.
"You're the only one of us that can keep him calm with your voice. Remember what you said? Music soothes the savage beast! So..soothe him!" Leo yelled back before leaving.
Kara sighs and looks over to April. "Well, let's get started shall we?" She looks down at Master Splinter and pets his head again, humming a simple tune.
"Alright, let's try it." April took in a deep breath and stared at him. "You are not a rat. You are Hamato Yoshi." She closed her eyes and placed her hands to her head as she began to try and access his mind to remind him who he was.
It looked as though it was working til he looked over at Casey and tackled him down again.
Kara took a step forward to calm him down but gasped when Casey shocked him and Master Splinter was shoved off and landed on his back.
"Casey!"
"What? He was attacking me!" Casey stood up. "I'm sorry..I'm sorry."
Kara looked at him and nodded standing beside him as April tried to wake him up. When he awakens he returns to his feral state and pins April to the wall trying to bite at her but she stays calm in the situation and tries again to get him to finally snap out of it and return to the Master Splinter she knew.
Kara stepped beside April making sure nothing would happen but seeing the look in his eyes she knew he was back. Before she could speak to him he went for his son's aid. Kara turned to April and grinned. "You did it. You really did it. You, my friend, are amazing."
"Thanks Kara." April smiled at her before they all watched Master Splinter work running at the enemy with speeds they weren't able to see with moves to match.
Kara grabbed April's and Casey's arm taking them to where the others were and saw Master Splinter and the guys hugging.
"Oh, how I have missed you, my sons and the rest of my family."
Kara ran up to him, putting her arms around him. "We missed you too, Master Splinter." She choked back her tears, smiling wide with joy at his return.
"Just, please don't try and eat my face anymore."
"And..we may want to get you some clothes." Kara added to Casey's comment making everyone chuckle til a low, cold voice filled the room.
"So the turtles live."
Everyone looked up to see Shredder come into view with a handful of footbots and Tigerclaw.
"And the rat thinks like a man again. Now you'll know when my blade is at your throat."
"We'll see about that." Kara muttered getting into a fighting stance beside her teacher.
"Wait Sensei." Leo stopped Splinter knowing they needed to leave.
"Yes, my son, this is not the time to fight." Master Splinter spoke calmly with his hands behind his back just as Mikey threw a smoke bomb, everyone disappearing out of sight.
They made it to the party wagon and were fleeing from the sewers when Tigerclaw hopped onto the roof of the van. "There is no escape." He roared and tried to break the window but Mikey had other plans.
"Tigerclaw meet Sir Sizzalot!" The deer head popped up on the roof and breathed fire out of his mouth causing Tigerclaw to fall off the roof and stumble out of the way as they made their way to the surface.
Kara closed her eyes in relief now that they were safe from Shredder.
"Ah, we made it." Donnie said, smiling.
"Yeah, by the skin of our shells." Raph responded.
"So where to now? We have no home to go back to."
I would recommend my place but...the way it is now..it's too soon for me." Kara looked out the window, leaning her forehead against it.
"Homes are transitory. What matters is we are together."
"We still need a place to hang our masks, Sensei. Where are we going to live?" Leo looked to Master Splinter before lowering his head, saddened.
"Well, there's the old power plant. Maybe an abandoned subway tunnel?" Donnie suggested
"Wait, I have the greatest idea ever!" Mikey shouted, standing up.
"Are we really going to hear this?" Raph groaned.
"It's secret, fortified, and no one would ever think to look for us there!" Mikey shouted excitedly.
Kara stared up at the pizza sign and sighed. "You know...I had a feeling. I really had a feeling."
When they entered they made sure it was clear before getting a look around.
"Perfect, right?" Mikey smiled.
"I wouldn't exactly call it "perfect."" Raph said to him.
"It will serve...for now." Master Splinter looked around.
"Next up: Take the city back." Casey smirked, punching his fist into the palm of his hand.
"And find my dad. He's out there. Somewhere. It's like he's right here...right next door." April said softly.
Kara watched her and went over to a window, staring out at the empty city. "Mrs. Christine. Jessica. Zach. Casey. I will find you all and bring you back. I promise. And Dragan..hold on a little longer."
